RE: Elevators
It has come to our attention that some tenants may need assistance in elevator operation.
Our elevators were manufactured by the Otis Elevator Company. The people at Otis designed our elevators to be very easy to use. For this reason, we have not previously offered training courses to our tenants in elevator operations. It is our hope that this memorandum will clear up any misunderstandings and enable all tenants to properly utilize our elevators.
To summon an elevator, enter an elevator lobby and press one of the elevator call buttons conveniently placed on the walls between the elevator doors. You will notice, upon pressing the call button, that it lights up and stays so lit until an elevator appears.
If, upon entering the elevator lobby, you see that the call button is already lit, you can safely conclude that an elevator is on its way.
Tenants who nevertheless press an already lit call button will not make an elevator appear more quickly. Tenants who repeatedly press an elevator call button will, similarly, not hasten the elevator's arrival. It should go without saying that tenants who hit the call button with extreme force will not make the elevator move any faster, but the hole in the wall between the north elevators in the middle bank suggests that this should not go without saying.
Our Otis Elevators include the latest elevator technology, but our elevators remain inanimate, unable to respond to any external stimuli other than the initial pressing of the call button. No amount of further button pressing, or cursing, or foot stamping, or glaring will result in any change in the elevator's operation.
If you have any further questions regarding our elevators and their proper operation, please do not hesitate to contact any of us in building management. As always, our goal is to enhance your tenant experience by "Building Maximum Satisfaction!"
